In the early stage of World War II, Americans did not pay attention to torpedoes. The developed mk13, 14 and 15 torpedoes (one type, just launched from different vehicles) were all pit father goods and harmed many submarine soldiers.

However, these torpedoes are electric torpedoes and will not bubble. This time, the torpedoes that hit the oil tanker can bubble. It is obvious that they are thermal torpedoes.

What's the point? Of course the Germans did it!

In American analysis, this is too simple.

A considerable part of the oil exported by Mexico is exported to the United States. After all, the United States is now in a state of war and is very eager for oil. Now Mexico's oil tankers are bombed so that they can't export oil, and the United States will be seriously threatened.

The Germans intend to interrupt the future of the United States. Unfortunately, doing so will only make Mexico fall into the trap. Mexico can only live by relying on the United States. In this way, Mexico will wholeheartedly join its own camp, and then pull South America in. The United States is absolutely hopeful!

The Germans are so stupid. That hilrick finally did a stupid thing!

"Then, it's time for us to talk about your oil. We in the United States do not want to see such an ecological disaster happen again. You can only stand up with us and fight against Germany together. We can send escort ships to fight against submarines for your oil tankers. If you act alone again, It is likely to continue to sink the tanker. "

The American ambassador continued to speak with complacency. If these words were heard in the ears of the president of Mexico, it would not be the case.

This is just showing off. It's demonstrating. If you don't follow us, your tanker won't sail normally in the future! How can you say that like Americans do?

Valdes could not help frowning. This matter must not be so simple. Is there only electric torpedoes in the United States?

No, we must check this matter carefully!

The Americans are still talking. Valdes and Camacho exchanged a look and saw the worry in each other's eyes. If the Americans did it, this behavior is unforgivable!

Just two years ago, because Mexico nationalized oil, it also led to hostility between Britain, America and Mexico. If the situation had not changed, maybe the smelly American soldiers would have been killed. Now, Americans still look arrogant. Do you really think it was the last us Mexico war?

After seeing off the American ambassador, they sat down.

"We must find out the truth of this matter." President Camacho said, "according to the captain's report, the torpedo fired by the other party for the first time is a dud?"

Camacho was a soldier all his life. He joined the army of Carranza in 1915 and served as an army lieutenant. He was soon promoted step by step and finally promoted to general. He became Secretary of the army and navy in 1932 and Secretary of defense in 1937.

Therefore, Camacho is quite clear about these things about the army. Now, Camacho has keenly grasped the key. What Americans say is secondary. The main thing is to find the torpedo. As long as the torpedo is found, everything will come out.

Americans say Germans did it. Similarly, Germans will say Americans did it, but torpedoes won't be fake.

"Yes, I will leave and send someone to salvage in the nearby sea area. I must salvage the dud." Valdes also looked serious.

"This matter should be carried out in secret and must not be known to Americans." Camacho charged again.

It's not easy to salvage torpedoes.

When a torpedo navigates in the water, it navigates according to a certain depth and will not sink under the sea. However, this is because the torpedo is moving.

When the torpedo is sailing in the water, the power plus buoyancy is just equal to the gravity of the torpedo, so that the torpedo will not sink. However, if the torpedo does not hit the target within the range, the power of the torpedo will be exhausted, the gravity will be greater than the buoyancy, and the torpedo will sink to the seabed.

Think about it. According to the ancient Archimedes principle, the self weight of the torpedo must be greater than the gravity of the boiled water. It is because there is power that it can maintain a straight-line navigation, which is similar to that of an aircraft flying in the sky. Once it loses power, it will certainly fall down.

Finding something that sinks into the sea floor is a difficult problem.

All this must be carefully inferred.

"Yes, it's in this sea area. I remember very clearly. It's about a thousand meters in front of us." Sailor Roy, sitting in a small boat, instructed several technicians.

After being rescued, Roy couldn't sleep almost every night. When he closed his eyes, there were those seabirds and fish. Now, a few days have passed, and the area of crude oil has expanded. This black sea area has become a place of death.

All this is caused by that submarine. As long as you let yourself know who did it, you will never let him go!

Roy raised his fist at the thought. He was very angry.

From here to the front, the tanker sank in a straight line. Several technicians calculated carefully on the ship and fully considered the influence of ocean currents.

"Let's look under the water about two nautical miles opposite." The technician drew a circle on the chart with a pen. According to the power of the torpedo, it should fall there.

The biggest advantage here is that it is close to the coast, and the water depth is only 50 meters.

The biggest problem of diving is the pressure. Every ten meters down, an atmospheric pressure will increase. At a depth of 50 meters, it is equivalent to six times the pressure at sea level. In this way, divers must conduct decompression diving.

However, the depth is not particularly deep, and there is no need to wear heavy rubber diving suits with full body equipment.

Several divers, with two oxygen cylinders on their backs, and two additional high-pressure oxygen cylinders hanging at their waist and arms, wearing diving suits, plopped into the sea after receiving the order.

At the same time, they began to breathe high-purity oxygen to do simple underwater periodic decompression.

After more than ten seconds, the decompression was completed. They continued to dive down and soon reached the bottom.

Here, the sun gently penetrated the sea water and turned into light blue. All underwater creatures were floating with the sea water, and divers began to search.

This is bound to be a long process. As long as the calculation is a little wrong, the final landing point of the torpedo may change greatly.

But not for someone who is suddenly bubbling a string of bubbles around his mouth.
